Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order determines—
the aggregate amount of grants to be made under section 32(1) of the Police (Scotland) Act 1967 out of money from the Scottish Consolidated Fund for police purposes to all police authorities and joint police boards for the financial year 2012-2013 (article 2); and
the amount of such grants to be made to each police authority or joint police board (article 3).
The Order also sets out how and when the grant is payable (article 4).
Article 5 of this Order varies the Police Grant (Scotland) Order 2010 for the financial year 2010/11 to state the actual aggregate police grant and the amounts of police grant paid to each police authority and joint police board in respect of that financial year, as redetermined on the basis of audited accounts.
A redetermination of the police grant is carried out because the police grant as stated in the Police Grant (Scotland) Order 2010 was based on estimated budget figures. Upon receipt of audited accounts, the Scottish Ministers have substituted audited figures into the formula used to calculate the police grant and the amount of police grant has been redetermined accordingly.
A report on the considerations taken into account by the Scottish Ministers in making the determination and redetermination has been prepared and laid before the Scottish Parliament in accordance with section 32(6) and (9) of the Police (Scotland) Act 1967.
